Enjoy roasting, kela roast recipes

The classic Sunday roast may have had a different significance in the past, but today, both traditional and modern roast recipes are increasingly popular. Families and amateur chefs who are mindful of meat consumption still enjoy preparing a tender roast occasionally, often with a modern twist and using local and seasonal ingredients. A roast doesn’t have to be heavy or greasy. Plenty of fresh vegetables, steamed to preserve vitamins, lighten up the dish. However, the roasting time has not changed from the past; a roast is slow-cooked and needs time.

There are many more possibilities for daily cooking. Pasta dishes are among the quickest and most popular meals. They are wonderfully varied and loved by both young and old. Rice dishes and potatoes in many variations also provide a diverse cuisine. For dinner, a juicy steak with a colourful salad is often the first choice. Our cast iron and iron pans Angus, Rhino, and Fergus are perfect for a crispy, juicy steak. 

For those who want to try delicious roasting recipes, we’ve gathered a few ideas for classic roasts below.

Pork roast

A classic roast recipe is pork roast. Traditionally, it’s braised in the oven in a roaster and often served with dumplings and red cabbage. For a juicy roast, the meat is initially seared. Our Calido rough roaster is perfect for this. The rough surface allows the roast flavours to develop beautifully. Cast iron also ensures even braising in the oven.

Duck roast

Duck or goose roast is often enjoyed at Christmas or Martinmas, on Saint Martin's Day. It’s usually served with potatoes and various winter vegetables or classically with red cabbage. Large oval or rectangular roasters are perfect for duck roasts. These large roasters are often called goose roasters. Our Kerros roaster is ideal for this, featuring a lid with an aroma knob for adding liquid during cooking.

Roast beef

A delicious braised beef is actually simple to cook. The seasoned meat is first seared on all sides to seal in the juices. Meanwhile, various vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery are sautéed in the roaster. The roasting juices are typically deglazed with vegetable broth and red wine, and the roast is slow-cooked in the oven at a low temperature. Our Calido roasters, with a nostalgic touch in a red tone with a light enamel coating, are a beautiful option.

Cookware material guide

Our brief material guide is intended to help you choose the perfect pan for your individual needs.

The choice of cookware is considerable, but different pans and pots are needed for different dishes in order to achieve an all-round satisfactory cooking result. Preparing steaks requires a different pan than preparing tender fish or sweet crêpes.

Coatings and hob types

kela uses only high-quality non-stick coatings that comply with international food regulations. These coatings enable low-fat and even fat-free cooking and frying. Food doesn’t stick and nothing burns. Non-stick cookware should be cleaned with a soft sponge and mild detergent, not in the dishwasher. It’s recommended to use wooden, plastic, or silicone utensils to avoid damaging the coating. 

In order to enjoy your new cookware for a long time, you should pay attention to which types of cookers and up to which temperatures pots, pans or roasters are suitable. Cookware from kela is suitable for electric and gas hobs, radiant, ceramic hobs and often also for induction. Please follow the instructions in the individual product descriptions.

Do you need a wok or roasting pan for the perfect kitchen setup?

It depends on your home cooking habits. A roaster is ideal and very useful for preparing roast dishes and meals where large pieces of meat are slow-cooked at low temperatures. Roasters come in round, oval, and rectangular shapes, providing enough space for braised dishes. Cast aluminium and cast iron roasters retain heat well, keeping food warm after cooking. They’re also visually appealing, making them perfect for serving at the table. 

A wok is versatile for many cooking methods. It’s not just for frying but also steaming, blanching, poaching, and more. Those who enjoy healthy cooking will find a wok very satisfying. While most dishes can be prepared in regular pans, a wok’s unique shape allows for crisper vegetables and tender meat and fish as ingredients can be placed on the wok’s sides during cooking.

Choosing the right cookware for your kitchen?

Determining the right cookware, such as pots, pans, roasters, and casserole dishes, depends on individual preferences. Minimalists and beginners can start with fewer pieces than avid cooks and those who enjoy creating tasty, healthy meals at home. Household size also matters. A basic setup often includes two to three pots and two pans of different sizes. Adding casserole dishes enables the preparation of many dishes. As cooking becomes more routine or a hobby, more specialized cookware like roasters, serving pans, or grill pans may be desired.

Notes on safe use

  • Remove any stickers from new pans, pots and cookware before use. 
  • Please do not use metal kitchen utensils and do not cut into the cookware with knives. This can cause scratches and cuts. This does not affect the function of stainless steel cookware. On the other hand, cutting marks in cookware with a coating can affect the non-stick effect.
  • The products should never be heated too much or for long periods without contents.
  • Handles should never be placed over hobs. These become very hot. 
  • Before using the cookware for the first time, we recommend washing it thoroughly with a little water and a mild washing-up liquid.
  • Iron pans require the wax layer to be removed before first use. These pans must also develop a patina (protective layer) before use. Precise instructions are enclosed with the iron pans. Our pre-fired iron pans Fergus and Rhino are an exception.

Cleaning pots and pans

Cookware with non-stick coating (enamel or non-stick coating)

  • Please note that pans made of aluminium/cast aluminium and with a high-quality coating are not suitable for dishwashers. It is better to wash them thoroughly by hand without using aggressive scouring milk, harsh detergents or steel wool.
  • After drying, apply a few drops of cooking oil to the coating with a paper kitchen towel.

Cookware without non-stick coating (e.g. stainless steel pans and pots)

  • Stainless steel cookware can be put in the dishwasher for easy cleaning.
  • Stainless steel pots and pans must not be cleaned with steel wool or scouring pads. This can cause scratches and damaged areas, which then appear as small rust spots. Aggressive scouring agents should also not be used.
  • Please do not put iron pans in the dishwasher.

General tips

  • Let cookware cool before cleaning. Do not immerse hot cookware in cold water.
  • Ensure cookware is suitable for your hob type and temperature limits. 
  • Dry thoroughly after cleaning. 
  • For burnt food and residues, soak pots in hot water and detergent. Remove limescale with diluted lemon or vinegar acid and a soft cloth. 
  • he rainbow-coloured discolouration can also be removed in an instant with diluted acetic acid.
